My name is Black Beat, and I was born to send you to hell.
Dragon Ball Z Kai

Definitely the best way to experience the Z portion of Kai from Raditz to Cell. It cuts out the filler, the pacing is kept closer to the manga, and the dub is just excellent. Even the Nicktoons and CW versions are really good despite the censorship.

Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai

A pretty good Budokai game on the go, though the story is very poorly translated and can be needlessly convoluted at points, especially when it’s trying to adapt the Fusion Reborn movie, and accommodate the different paths you take. Still solid enough

@nitrorad.bsky.social well…. I bit the bullet and decided to get the game on impulse since I watched your vid …. So on a scale of 1-10 how much will the BS parts make me rage quit?

Wicked for Good

I… genuinely don’t understand the hate for this movie. I genuinely loved it. Probably cuz I already really liked the second act of the broadway version, so I was a bit easy to please here. But even then, I don’t understand the hate for Act 2 either.

Digimon Frontier

Despite its flaws, I really don’t understand why this entry in the series is so hated. With the internet at large, I know it’s not solely because of the tokusatsu direction, but even then, I still think this is a pretty underrated entry in the series.
January 17, 2026 at 2:01 PM
I’m….. genuinely shocked the dub got away with this.

More gun recoloring cuz it’s only dangerous if it’s not green right?
January 13, 2026 at 2:52 PM
Oh, I think I might’ve reached one of the REALLY lost episodes cuz it seems this one’s only available as a low quality tv rip
January 13, 2026 at 2:50 PM
Though that’s probably only cuz they colored over it….. cuz it’s ok to point guns at people as long as it’s pink right?
January 13, 2026 at 2:48 PM
I’m kinda surprised the dub was able to get away with Zoda pointing a gun at this dude.
January 13, 2026 at 2:48 PM
And no it’s not any better in Japanese, cuz she slaps Ryu and tells him HE was the one who blew it…. Despite Lucy being the one who stole the fucking thing…What the actual fuck Jody?
January 13, 2026 at 2:47 PM
Wow, fuck you Jody. Also, I cut off right before it was revealed Zoda was gonna be in the race in this episode, and Jody literally says “you could’ve beaten him and now you won’t get the chance to” like… jeez, fuck off lady, it wasn’t even Ryu’s fault
January 13, 2026 at 2:45 PM
But no, the only thing that got censored in this scene was Jody slapping Ryu. The editing was just being weird.
January 13, 2026 at 2:40 PM
So I’ve decided to watch the F Zero anime, watching the 4Kids dub since might as well have the novelty of doing so since most of its lost media. And this scene is funny to me, cuz some of the editing legit made me feel like this scene was being censored
January 13, 2026 at 2:37 PM
About that, he’s a reference to a tokusatsu and anime character called Gekko Kamen, aka the Moonlight Mask

Ok so I’m watching the Japanese version and got curious and found out, IceDevimon is voiced by Norio Wakamoto, who also voiced Cell in Dragon Ball

@nopondigi.bsky.social I just remembered Frontier made the most brilliant casting decision ever of casting Crispin Freeman as Duskmon…. And put him in the same dub where Digimon were being tortured by pictures of feet and Christopher Walken IceDevimon…..

More Thick Thighs…….. I’ve made my case
January 4, 2026 at 2:16 AM
@nopondigi.bsky.social in case you ever wanted to know what the infamous Akane Extreme closeup shot was referencing since it just crossed my mind
January 2, 2026 at 2:25 AM
@nopondigi.bsky.social celebrating the new year with Digimon’s most Bizarre dub changes…. Why in god’s name did they make IceDevimon sound like Christopher Walken?…

Let’s wrap up 2025 with:

Fairy Tail Movie 1:

Pretty average anime movie all things considered with a standard story and pretty boring villain. But the new character Eclair is engaging, and the fights are fun to watch, and the bittersweet ending is pretty nice.

Lightning Round:

The Black Scorpion: Fun 50s B movie with some fun stop motion effects from that era.

Gremlins: an incredibly fun mean spirited Christmas movie with likable characters and the gremlins themselves are very fun to watch.

Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc

Great movie and it’s neat the anime’s going in this direction, but again I don’t think season 1’s director getting fired because of season 1’s faults was worth it. Still, I really liked this movie a lot.
January 1, 2026 at 2:43 AM
My apologies for the two month later response, but what about Mrs. Ururaka
January 1, 2026 at 1:18 AM
I thought I wanted to stick with the dub since the website I’m using to watch it subbed is giving me trouble and Frontier’s on Hulu so I thought why not…. And then I remembered this is the one where IceDevimon has the Christopher Walken impression…. Oh god no..
